NCCU AI Working Group

Under the Leadership of Provost Jackson the Artificial Intelligence Working Group was formed in 2023. This interdisciplinary initiative is aimed at leveraging the diverse expertise within our institution to advance in the rapidly evolving field of artificial intelligence (AI). This group would focus on three primary objectives: professional development, policy formation, and groundbreaking research.

The establishment of this group aligns with our university's commitment to academic excellence and innovation. It provides a platform for our community to engage with AI in a meaningful way, preparing our students for future challenges and opportunities and positioning our faculty as leaders in this vital field.

The working group will facilitate learning and knowledge-sharing events, workshops, and seminars. These activities aim to keep faculty, staff, and students abreast of the latest developments in AI, enhancing their professional skills and understanding of this critical field.

AI's pervasive impact necessitates thoughtful policy-making to guide its ethical, legal, and societal implications. Our group will collaborate with various departments to develop comprehensive policies that ensure responsible AI use within our academic community and beyond.

The working group will serve as a hub for interdisciplinary research collaborations. By uniting experts from different fields, we aim to foster innovative AI research projects, securing our university's position at the forefront of AI advancements.
